Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Hold on a minute guys let's just get down to what the real issue is here. Two of the most "capped" players in the Tyrone squad are Peter Harte and Aidan Mccrory. Are these two players some of the best players in Tyrone for the past ten years? People need to really waken up on this. Postcode lottery if truth be told.

Who are the likely newcomers next year?

With Justy and Sean Cavanagh retiring and McGeary in the England next year you would imagine there will be a few places up for grabs.

Grugan and McLaughlin of Omagh might be brought in. Will Tierney be brought back in?

Of last year's u-21s McKernan is the most likely addition. Ruairi Sludden and Mark Kavanagh would be two more options but they wouldn't really give us anything we don't already have.

I'd imagine we'll see 7 or 8 new faces for the O'Fiach and McKenna Cups. There's a good few lads who have been round a few years now without really making much of an impact and they must be questioning things.

Just on the lads that have been around for awhile to no breakthrough. Would you say that's an issue for them, or the management? I sometimes wonder myself, you'll hear of lads called into the panel now over the next few weeks to train their hearts out over December and January for very little gametime. Always though the more established players in the squad should be exempt from these pre season cups - Aiden McCrory was lifting it last year I think, did he even need to be there?
Mickey will make sure Aidan mccrory and his other favourites are a constant starter on the Tyrone teamsheet. God forbid some other fella came in, played brilliantly, mccrory may have to be dropped and that wouldn't do! Well done big Colm....on talking to RTE lol. The furhfrer will drop him now lol

so tyrone spend 7.5 million and rising and peter donnelly has to rent a gym in east tyrone as garvaghey isnt fit for purpose. waco

The players will be travelling to Garvaghy plenty in the upcoming months, gym work is probably better done in smaller groups esp at adult level. It's a bit of an ask to get the players to drive up there for a gym session (bearing in mind there'll be no expenses for that). What harm is being done in a local area when it can suit all, as opposed to being in Ballygawley when some can't make it with work or whatever. Harte and Donnelly have been around the block long enough, if someone at that level isn't doing their gym work....it'll be obvious, where it takes place? Largely irrelevant surely.
Gym work? Watching the lads against Dublin, they might as well have been a bunch of fat men in a wheelchair. The real work next year will on Harte s plate not the players.

Tyrone have to be a good price for league relegation at this stage?  Make no mistake about it the croke park annihilation was reminiscent of Meath 96 when at that time Tyrone were strong All Ireland favourite s, the bottom fell out and the county was in the doldrums for at least four years after. Get your money on a relegation and a failure to make the super 8s.

I really do believe there are sinister elements within the Catholic church dictating Tyrone GAA. Having Neo-Catholic Harte in such a high profile Job is great for publicity. Football seems to have taken a back seat to everything else. I mean what the hell do we want, a man in charge who will focus totally on getting  the best players in the county competing for All Ireland s or a religious fanatic talking about sky ferries who prances about getting photos taken with celebritys. Something very odd about the whole thing.

Go lick yer balls big dog and yer mates while yer at it.
woof woof woof I'm the BIG DOG!!

What does club Tyrone and Harte want money for? A trip to majigory? Why don't they get rid of half the doughnuts in the backroom team and oh yes play some "football" to get the crowds back to Healy. People will only be too happy to fork out in the spirit of a positive football.

Good to here of the kildress man's Sligo appointment. There seems to be a surprise among a few on here that someone else from within Tyrone would be capable (god forbid) of managing a senior intercounty team! To the next idiot who says who else can manage Tyrone apart from Mickey. DRY UP and BLOW AWAY!

I can exclusively reveal plan A (the blanket) will be continued next year. However a few tweaks will be implemented with our lord's prayer said before all matches and a decade of the rosary at half time. Yes!! Let's do this. ( Maybe somebody is feeding me bullshit?)

Kieran mcgeary has left the senior squad after hearing from several sources including a friend of his. Another source says McNulty of Dungannon and Richard Donnelly have other plans next year. Interesting times ahead!

Peter Harte plays well and still ends up on the losing team. This is not new he has played well in numerous big games were the team underperforms. It has to be said he does be at his best when playing in a defensive screen. The last thing you want Petey doing is running around after his man like Ciaran Kilkenny did in the All Ireland final. However if Tyrone are to succeed in the future players like Harte will have to face up to this side of the game and the constant comfort of the blanket defence will not do. These are the questions Mickey Harte will have to answer in the next three years. Unfortunately I am doubtful Tyrone football will change and that is very sad. Tyrone need players who will go to war first and foremost and "nice skill" should be secondary.

It was in the Irish new ffs.

It was in the Irish News that Devlin had been replaced by Mark Harte? You're just a ****-stirrer, you know what you're at.

That lad 'thebigdog' is worse. He joined up to post that McGeary was leaving the panel, which is untrue, he'll still be around next year. Someone posted that Devlin is joining Clonoe ffs.

If people don't like the current Tyrone set-up, fine, but spreading rumours about people, some of whom aren't even involved with the senior team, as well as players who have done nothing wrong, is incredibly juvenile.

Gavin Devlin to stay on according to Irish news. The status quo continues.
Kieran mcgeary won't be in the squad next because I know for a fact it's as simple as that. As for you sneering at other posters your the one who should grow up. The horse is back ee aw ee aw.

Funny story of the day. MH says to Darren McCurry before he goes on against Dublin "right Darren go on there and win us this game!" On a scale of hilarity this would be 11 out of 10. LOL LOL LOL

As someone who enthusiastically availed of my season ticket for the last number of years I think a polite but firm no to next year's until some stability and decent football is back on the table.
